Google won again in the anti-trust case decision to keep the company intact. Guess we all have to live under the thumb.

Yeah, last few days rates been down, traffic also a bit down for me. Maybe return to Uni/School effect plays a part in some of that.

In the first days of September I had a surge in RPM of $23... Now in the middle of the month it reached $9... So revenue is down.. Traffic also down...

After a horrendous end to August, September is looking much better. My traffic is increasing, and my AdSense revenue is up 28% compared with the same period in September 2025. For the first time in many years, I’m seeing a year-over-year increase in monthly revenue. I hope this trend continues!

My Page RPM was doing great until September 1st, and since it has been on a downhill slide.
Started looking into it yesterday to find out what changes I have made since then, and the only thing I can think of is, I changed the Vignette ads frequency from 2 minutes to 1 minute.
What I also find interesting is that my traffic has been dropping since that date as well.
Could the fact that the Vignette ads were showing every minute when the average session duration time for my site is over 2 minutes be the problem?
What frequency does anyone using vignette ads use or would recommend?
